Dreams and Fragments: Manifestations of Classical Literature in Poetry (Cambridge Festival)
Sat 27 March 2021
online
Join the Museum of Classical Archaeology online for poetry readings by Lesley Saunders and Jo Balmer, framed by the evocative surroundings of our gallery of classical casts, as they explore how and why does classical antiquity live on in us and in our worlds?
Their performance responds to the idea expressed by the classical scholar Edmund Richardson that ‘we work with fragments, we work with dreams, we work with the longing for lost texts to be discovered, for every broken thing to be repaired…’
The event will be pre-recorded and the video will premiere on 27th March at 6pm and be available for the duration of the festival. The video will feature a Question and Answer section.
The poets would love to answer any questions you might have for them. The registration form via Eventbrite will give you an opportunity to ask questions in advance of the event. We will do our best to answer them during the recording.
This event is part of Cambridge Festival 2021.
Cost: Free
